Don't know how well it drives on the road yet - it's still not quite finished & road legal. But it already wants to go! Shouldn't be that far off finished - i spent yesterday putting in what i hope are the last wires (shift light, fan operation light) and making up the handbrake cables for the rear discs.

Radiator is in wheel arch behind wheel - first pic is before shielding was in place, second pic is with shielding, which scoops air up as well to ensure it gets good air.





Radiator is a one-off in Ally by Pace products to my design, and is a work of art! I didn't put it up front as I had already done the front end by the time i decided to go WBX route. The fan is controlled by the ECU as well.

Will post up more pics later if y'all want?

Moog
